Source Code Meetup

​What's Source Code?

Source Code is a new meetup for anyone interested in where journalism and technology meet. If you’ve been to Hacks/Hackers LDN before, you’ll recognise the vibe: open, practical, and focused on sharing what actually works (and what doesn’t) in news and tech. Whether you’re a regular from the old days or completely new, you’re welcome.

Who is it for?

Whether you’re coding tools for newsrooms, experimenting with AI, launching media startups, or simply passionate about storytelling in the digital age, Source Code is your community.
Expect talks, hands-on demos, collaborative problem-solving, and plenty of opportunities to swap ideas with peers who get it.

On the agenda

• ​Harriet Meyer, founder of AI for Media, has spent two decades in national newspapers, magazines and digital publishing. She now trains journalists and content teams to build practical, responsible AI workflows. Expect real demos, usable templates and no hype.

• ​Steven Wilson-Beales is an SEO consultant specialising in news and content strategy, and co-chair of the Journalism Advisory Board for the Association of Publishers. He’ll be unpacking what SEO looks like in the age of AI-generated answers and zero-click search, and what publishers should be doing about it.

• ​More speakers to be announced.

​Where?
We'll have a private space at The Sir Christopher Hatton pub, so spots are limited.

​Want to get involved?

​We’re volunteer-run. If you have suggestions or want to help out, just let us know.
